Post-Game Discussion Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

[eaglebuzz]

Same thing happened last year, we won two games on the trot to start the season and looked like world beaters, then it went to crap after that.

Over rating Souths and the eels imo

Guess we will see in 22 weeks won’t we??

That was Barrettesque in the attacking red zone today.

Players are like employees and do the bare minimum required by their employers
Coaches need to do more to actually coach and come up with game plans to get the most from the players
Too many coaches are relying on the ‘creativity’ of their roster to come up with attacking plays rather than generating effective plays themselves
We have seen long spells of good field position this year not being converted into points
Unfortunately I think it could be a long year for us this year

Our attack looked impotent today. One flukey try and one barge over. We had enough ball to win 3 games.

Flano mixing with the Manly players on the field, what a happy scene it is.

 

[eagleron]

Tom has a shoulder injury apparently

Good he can take some time to learn how to hang onto the ball

Scary thing is how badly the Dragons played in the second half. Imagine if they'd played well.

Scary how badly we played for all but about 5 minutes. Seriously Carl, we should have been in front by 20+ at half time.

While I give credit to the Dragons defence who I do think played well especially in the second half ... damn if we didn't kill ourselves out there today. We were literally our own worst enemy.

 

[frank stokes]

I like your optimism but seriously, we have been good in one game - the roosters game. The rest we have been average. Energy was good in Vegas but we werent that great. Our defence is RUBBISH.

Agree we were not perfect against south’s but we went down by 10 points twice in that game and still won…
In years gone by we get blown away in that game…

And just to think I had to wait summer sit through this humid as f$$k weather and to know that only in March we are already in for a long season hurts like hell

Not soon enough

Flanno had our number tonight, we made it easy with the dropped ball in the first half but the same moves that have opened up our first 3 opponents were met with great defence. We let their confidence grow by throwing away the ball.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Turbo refused to jump and compete for that very first bomb. He was already mentally off.

 

[hozza]

That was Barrettesque in the attacking red zone today.

Yes, yes it was

We got fooled into thinking these pr*cks knew how to play

Honestly , I don’t blame them for that , the games over , he was their coach last year.

 

[davohan123]

We need a rocket up this group they need to work on the basics before they start playing fancy s$$t

Ruben is not a centre

Sorry mate but it still doesn't explain why we played like we did today

 

[grassy]

I can now see our mentality for the remainder of the year. We win a couple and loose a couple which in fact has not changed from last year. Even if we beat Penrith I can’t see us going all the way. We are just not mentally switched on. I don’t even think our players want to win a premiership to be honest. I have closed Kayo down for the year coz I know where this is going. Not wasting any more coin. See yuz next year.

 

[The Royal Soup]

offered zero in attach the whole game

had all the ball in the second half and no kunt wanted to run or do anything, every play was slow and predictable

iva fuking had it with croker at hooker, he is slow, sloppy and offers zero spark

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So one win at the Gong , since 2003

Says it all I think.
